And with that question you dismiss the rest of my bug report? I asked some 
more question.

I was not aware on when this started to happen, if Jessie is not affected, all 
the better.

Still, I want it to stop. Now. So I am using the audit=0 kernel parameter as 
your answer didn´t provide any helpful hint on how else get rid of this audit 
crap. This is a desktop. My debian desktops have done for +10 years without 
this crap. No one ever intruded any of my desktops. So what gives? I am just 
not interested in that. I am just not *at all* interested in that crap.

And either this systemd thing will do what I want, or I will force it to do 
what I want, or I will kick it out of my systems. Its that easy.
